(BIOFARBO, 2010-06-25)
RESUMEN.
En Bolivia se estima que más del 70% de la
contaminación atmosférica urbana proviene de la flota

Maternal and fetoplacental hypoxia do not alter circulating angiogenic growth factors : the emperor's got no clothes?
(The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010)
ABSTRACT.
Context: Placental hypoxia alters production of angiogenic growth factors (AGFs), thought to be
causally involved in the development of the pregnancy-specific disease preeclampsia (PE).
Consistent with this, ...
Apolipoprotein E/C1/C4/C2 gene cluster diversity in two native andean populations : Aymaras and Quechuas
(Annals of Human Genetics, 2012-07)
Summary.
The APOE/C1/C4/C2 gene cluster presents high relevance in lipid metabolism and, therefore, has important epidemiological implications. Here, we study for the first time the variation patterns of 25 polymorphisms ...
Hypoglycemia and the origin of hypoxia-induced reduction in human fetal growth
(PLOS One, 2010-01)
Abtract.
Background: The most well known reproductive consequence of residence at high altitude (HA .2700 m) is reduction in
fetal growth. Reduced fetoplacental oxygenation is an underlying cause of pregnancy pathologies, ...
Development of a panel of genome-wide ancestry informative markers to study admixture throughout the Americas
(PLOS Genetics, 2012-03-08)
Abstract.
Most individuals throughout the Americas are admixed descendants of Native American, European, and African ancestors.
Complex historical factors have resulted in varying proportions of ancestral contributions ...
Divergent physiological responses in laboratory rats and mice raised at high altitude
(The Journal of Experimental Biology, 2015-01-29)
Abstract.
Ecological studies show that mice can be found at high altitude (HA – up to 4000 m) while rats are absent at these altitudes, and there are
no data to explain this discrepancy. We used adult laboratory rats ...

Sleep-disordered breathing and vascular function in patients with chronic mountain sickness and healthy high-altitude dwellers
(CHEST, 2016-11-05)
BACKGROUND: Chronic mountain sickness (CMS) is often associated with vascular
dysfunction, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB)
frequently occurs at high altitude. At low altitude, ...
